Physical VerificationIntroduction to GST Registration
In any tax system registration is the most fundamental requirement for identification of taxpayers ensuring tax compliance in the economy. Registration of any business entity under the GST Law implies obtaining a unique number from the concerned tax authorities for the purpose of collecting tax on behalf of the government and to avail Input tax credit for the taxes on his inward supplies. Without registration, a person can neither collect tax from his customers nor claim any input tax credit of tax paid by him.
In GST registration, the supplier is allotted a 15-digit GST identification number called “GSTIN” and a certificate of registration incorporating therein this GSTIN is made available to the applicant on the GSTN common portal. The first 2 digits of the GSTIN is the State code, next 10 digits are the PAN of the legal entity, the next two digits are for entity code, and the last digit is check sum number

Nature of GST Registration
The registration in GST is PAN based and State-specific. The supplier has to register in each of such State or Union territories from where he affects supply. A given PAN-based legal entity would have one GSTIN per State, which means a business entity having its branches in multiple States will have to take separate State wise registration for the branches in different States. But within a State, an entity with different branches would have single registration wherein it can declare one place as the principal place of business and other branches as an additional place of business.

Those who are not registered under GST shall not be allowed to collect GST from customers or claim an input tax credit (ITC) on inward supply. The registration must be applied within 30 days of reaching the threshold limit. For GST, the term Aggregate Turnover means all supplies made by the taxable person, whether on his own or behalf of a principal.

Physical Verification in Connection with GST registration
Physical verification is to be resorted to only where it is found necessary in the subjective satisfaction of the proper officer. If at all, it is felt necessary, it will be undertaken only after granting the registration and the verification report along with the supporting documents and photographs shall have to be uploaded on the common portal within fifteen working days.
Amendment of Registration
Except for the changes in some core information in the registration application, a taxable person shall be able to make amendments without requiring any specific approval from the tax authority. In case the change is for the legal name of the business, or the State where the place of business or additional place of business is situated, the taxable person will apply for amendment within 15 days of the event necessitating the change. The proper officer, then, will approve the amendment within the next 15 days. For other changes like the name of the day to day functionaries, e-mail Ids, Mobile numbers etc., no approval of the proper officer is required, and the amendment can be affected by the taxable person on his own on the common portal. Generally, the amendments take effect from the date of application for amendment. The Commissioner, however, has been given powers to permit amendments with retrospective effect.
Cancellation ofGST Registration
The GST law provides for two scenarios where the GST Registration may be cancelled
- the one when the taxable person no more requires it (voluntary cancellation), or
- when the proper officer considers the Registration liable for cancellation in view of certain specified defaults (Suo-Motu cancellation) in situations like when the registrant is not doing business from the registered place of business or if he issues a tax invoice without making the supply of goods or services.
The taxable person desirous of cancellation of Registration will apply on the common portal within 30 days of the event warranting cancellation. He will also declare the stock held on the date with effect from which he seeks cancellation in the application. He will also work out and declare the quantum of dues of payments and credit reversal and the particulars of payments made to discharge such liabilities.
In case of voluntary Registration (taken despite not being liable for obtaining Registration), no cancellation is allowed until the expiry of one year from the effective date of Registration. If satisfied, the proper officer has to cancel the Registration within 30 days from the date of application or the date of reply to notice (if issued, when the officer concludes rejection).
Revocation of GST Registration Cancellation
In the case where registration is cancelled suo-motu by the proper officer, the taxable person can apply within 30 days of service of cancellation order, requesting the officer for revoking the cancellation ordered by him. However, before applying, the person has to make good the defaults (by filing all pending returns, making payment of all dues, and so) for which the officer cancelled the registration. If satisfied, the proper officer will revoke the cancellation earlier ordered by him.
However, suppose the officer concludes to reject the request for revocation of cancellation. In that case, he will first observe the principle of natural justice by issuing notice to the person and hearing him on the issue.
